Information

Zambian born, Robert Earnshaw recently made a name for himself by scoring the winning goal for Wales against Germany.

Seen by many as "Premiership class", Robert Earnshaw is still only 21 and is tipped for a bright future in the game, in both the domestic and international game.

Earnshaw played a key part in Cardiff's promotion season of 2000/2001, netting 19 league goals earning the honour of the clubs top scorer. He scored 11 league goals last season.

Earnie nearly left the club in 1999, when he spent a loan spell with Middlesbrough, and looks liked joining them for a small fee, Bluebirds fans are delighted that he didn't!
